The covered passenger area of the bus park
Galwey Arphot Download Original
L-shaped bus station and offices on the edge of Dublin City centre
The bus station comprises a central concourse, parking space for seventeen buses and various amenities for the public.
Passengers enter the bus station underneath a corrugated canopy that projects over the buses. The four and six storey blocks are planned on a standard unit of 10ft, allowing flexible partitioning around the offices as required. The offices are served from the lift hall by central internal corridors. A penthouse contains the staff restaurant.
The building is carried on a raft foundation which forms the basement floor. Buses enter and leave the station through large openings under each wing of the building. The superstructure over the openings is carried on three portal frames.
